DETROIT (AP) --
DETROIT (AP) - Brennan Boesch hit a go-ahead double shortly
after a disputed play that got Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire
ejected, and the Detroit Tigers rallied for six runs in the sixth
inning to beat the Minnesota Twins 11-6 Wednesday night.
The Twins took an early 6-1 lead, and still led by a run in the
sixth. With one out and a runner on first, Johnny Damon hit a deep
drive and center fielder Denard Span appeared to make a running
catch.
Span, however, lost the ball after taking two steps. After a
lengthy discussion, the umpires ruled Span hadn't held the ball
long enough for an out, and Gardenhire was tossed for arguing the
call.
Detroit took advantage of the two-base error, with Boesch and
Brandon Inge later hitting two-run doubles.
